So when he was working for McCain and Dubya I assume this didn't matter.
Guess who got the NYT's endorsement in the GOP primary?

Apparently he was too toxic for McCain, so yea, it mattered.

From the article:
Quote
It was considered so politically toxic in 2008 that presidential candidate John McCain nixed plans for Manafort to manage the Republican National Convention — a move that caused a rupture between Manafort and his then business partner, Rick Davis, who at the time was McCain’s campaign manager.
